9:30 am
hello, this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are your headlines. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says his forces have regained control of all areas around kyiv as russian forces withdraw from key towns. ukraine is now strengthening its defences in the east of the country. a kremlin spokesperson describes the ongoing talks of a ceasfire as "difficult". elsewhere, there are explosions in the strategic southern port city of odesa on the black sea coast. ukrainian officials say missiles have hit critical infrastructure but there were no casualties. voters in hungary head to the polls
9:31 am
as its leader, viktor orban, looks to extend his 12—year—rule. the opposition accuse mr orban of undermining democracy and the rule of law. the former archbishop of canterbury, rowan williams, says there's a strong case for the russian orthodox church to be expelled from the world council of churches because of its stance on the war in ukraine. hello and welcome to our look at what the the papers are saying today. with me are businessjournalist john crowley and property and finance commentator anne ashworth. let's take a look at today's front pages. the online independent�*s main story is an exclusive report by bel trew in ukraine, who describes the situation
9:32 am
in mariupol where bodies are being buried in the sandpits of the city's kindergarten playgrounds. the sunday telegraph says the prime minister is planning up to seven new nuclear power stations in the uk as part of what the paper says is a "radical expansion of home—grown energy" following vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine. according to the observer, the chancellor rishi sunak is facing a growing tory rebellion over his handling of the cost of living crisis. senior conservatives are warning that high taxes will undermine their party's appeal to voters. according to the sunday express, lord agnew, who resigned as the government's anti—fraud minister earlier this year, wants the chancellor to seize back the billions of pounds lost to fraudulent covid loans to reduce the cost of living burden. and in the sunday times the news that backbench conservative mp david warburton has been suspended
9:33 am
from the party pending an investigation into allegations about his conduct. so, let's begin. we are going to start with the front page of the observer and they report, their correspondent in the capital, is talking about the fact it's claimed russians are using children as human shields near kyiv. tell us more about that and what it means and what the sources of the evidence. ., ., , , , evidence. throughout the papers this mornin: evidence. throughout the papers this morning there _ evidence. throughout the papers this morning there are _ evidence. throughout the papers this morning there are stories _ evidence. throughout the papers this morning there are stories of - evidence. throughout the papers this morning there are stories of the - morning there are stories of the atrocities being committed by the retreating russians, which reporters getting into areas where they were not before and now telling us all about and this is a tough read. this morning you have to steel yourself to look at some of these accounts,
9:34 am
including the use of children in coaches as human shields taking hostages so they would not give the ukrainian forces the details of the coordinates of the russian invaders and various other difficult stories which add to the evidence that russia should be tried for war crimes. what interests me most looking at these stories is we've got various emotions around the world including india, which is the world's largest democracy, how long they can stand on sidelines and not come in to condemn pete in�*s invasion. these are some very difficult to read stories —— putin. in mariupol where the russians are retreating, it's becoming clear what
9:35 am

9:40 am
in order to commit crimes. but it's very clear that this is something the government really wishes to be happening more quickly and somehow isn't. it's a very big promise of 48 hours. i wonder how, given that the systems in place and given that people already seem to be working all the hours that god gives at the home office to do it, how this can be delivered.— be delivered. there are people workin: be delivered. there are people working overtime _ be delivered. there are people working overtime every - be delivered. there are people| working overtime every evening be delivered. there are people - working overtime every evening and seven days a week to speed up the process but it's not as automated as it should be. what you think of this? i it should be. what you think of this? ., it should be. what you think of this? ~ ., ., , ., ., this? i think all of us who have made applications _ this? i think all of us who have made applications through - this? i think all of us who have - made applications through government departments, when lord harrington says within — departments, when lord harrington says within 48 hours, well, i shouldn't— says within 48 hours, well, i shouldn't be suppressing a laugh but i shouldn't be suppressing a laugh but i can't _ shouldn't be suppressing a laugh but i can't see _ shouldn't be suppressing a laugh but i can't see it happening and also ican't see it happening and also

9:43 am
interesting. it's the perception that they tax ordinary people heavily rather than people who could possibly, arguably, afford to pay more tax. this follows the revelations this week about what the freezing of the income tax allowance is. which is a stealth tax for ordinary people. if you earn about £30,000 a year, you're going to be paying another £350 extra in tax this year and next year and the year after. so that for an awful lot of people, they are going to perceive themselves as having been very heavily squeezed, they won't have seen the levelling up of the areas that they thought would happen and they might turn against the tories at the next election and i think this cost of is just, it's not on as many of the front pages as i thought it would be, but it is beginning to

9:47 am
in the netherlands, there's an electric car with a secret. no, it's not its ultra—light, ultra—strong carbon—fibre frame, although that is important to the story, and it's not the aerodynamic design that makes it look like a future car from the 19505, although that is important, too. no, look closer at that shiny finish, and you'll see that it's not paint. the entire thing is covered in solar panels, solar panels on the bonnet, solar panels on the roof, solar panels instead of a back window. yes, this is a solar—powered car, and they call it lightyear one. the first production model will be going on sale this summer. its five square metres of solar panels come in narrow sections that better curve around the body and also mean that if it's parked partly in the shade, the sections that are in the sun
9:48 am
still work at full capacity. but even though the battery can take you 440 miles on a single charge, a day's worth of sunlight will only provide about 45 miles of that. the rest still has to come from plugging it in. however, 45 miles might be enough to get you to work and back. you can fast—charge it using a normal charger, but the solar panel will recharge your commute every day. so basically when you put it outside of your office space, then it recharges itself, and when you get back, the car is full again. and basically that happens every day. in the summer in the netherlands, you wouldn't have to charge for months if you do just your commute. really. i'm from the uk, i know what you're talking about. yeah. and, basically, uk and the netherlands are the worst 1%, right? it will get a lot better when you go to south europe. why did you set up a company here, then, and not in the sahara? because we love the sun
9:49 am
because we see it so less. actually, the netherlands is a european leader in solar power, getting as much as 17% of its energy from the sun. lexis a bit of a world leader, too. in 2012, he co—founded the team that went on to win the solar challenge cruiser race across the australian outback four times in a row. unsurprisingly, the design of lightyear one is somewhat more conventional. now, solar cells are getting better and better at turning sunlight into electricity, but lex�*s company is more focused on making what energy it can harvest go further. the result will be the most energy—efficient five—seater on the market when it launches, with a ruthlessly aerodynamic design weighing about half a tesla model s, and which trades the crazy acceleration of that beast for range and efficiency. so the tendency has been for electric cars to look at high acceleration and large batteries. so, because of those two,
9:50 am
cars get very heavy, and very heavy cars that accelerate quickly, they need very high power. so, we say it's more important to get to the destination quick than it is to be quick at a traffic light. and what's great about in—wheel motors is that they are direct drive, so basically there's no gears at all. there's just four moving parts — four motors. that's it. so it means that no heat is lost in drive shafts or other gears, etc. so, every bit of energy goes directly to the motors and to the wheels. now, lightyear one isn't the only solar—powered car being developed. this one from german outfit sono is due to hit the market in 2023. and, look, of course, it makes sense to get your electricity free of charge from the sun rather than from fossil—fuelled power stations. but solar cars also come with new challenges. for a start, you're going to need to keep it clean to maximise charging. and you know those stone chips you get in your windscreen? well, now much more of the car is covered in glass, although lightyear does say that any
9:51 am
chips can be filled with resin in the same way as windscreens. it does seem like it's been a long time coming, but looking at this, it is a bit easier to believe that one day your car might be wearing a sea of solar cells. now, it's notjust land vehicles that are adopting green power. and to find out how one seafaring country has begun to adapt, i'm going to hand you over to captain lewington. it's icy out there. it's very, very icy. with 3,000 kilometres of coastline and nearly 300,000 islands, sweden plays host to a variety of sailing vessels. motor boats use fuel that creates greenhouse gases. they can leak petrol and they can cause noise pollution. so i'm here to take a look at some electric boats that aim
9:52 am
to overcome these problems, including one that doesn't cut through the waves but glides above them. right, i'm following you. yes, come. under this 25—foot craft is a wing for hydroplaning and sensors that collect hundreds of data points every second. you'll have to take the passenger seat first. 0k. and then we'll let you drive. we need to stabilise it, much like a fighterjet. when we feel how we're oriented, where we are in the world, and then about 100 times per second, we are adjustable by twisting it and changing the angle to keep stable. this is where it gets exciting. let's go. wow! i can feel the sensation of the boat lifting up. it does actually feel
9:53 am
like we're flying. and without the hull in the water, its using 80% less power than a boat would conventionally need. batteries are still no way close to the same energy density as gasoline. but as hydroplaning reduces friction, electric becomes a more viable energy choice. this feels beautiful. whilst most electric boats eat up more energy the faster they go, this consumes the same at five knots that it does at 20. on a full charge, it can hydroplane for two hours, covering 50 nautical miles at a sensible 20 knot cruising speed. and we can have a conversation like this. it's not like it's slamming in the waves. which is very sociable, and it also feels very smooth, like an electric car. you want to try it? i'd love to. ok, let's do it. apparently, this is easy,
9:54 am
and when i raced a tesla a little i'm heading for the big waves. whoa! that was amazing! good work! i barely felt those. a very different experience to our producer's boat. it's a leader amongst its electric peers, but i do wonder if prices — starting from around $300,000 — might stall adoption, especially when similar—sized motorboats can still travel several times further and go around ten knots faster. of course, there's going to be petrol—powered boats for quite some time, but, i mean, once you try this kind of experience, it's quite easy to imagine everyone driving like this. yeah. and when you're here looking at this beautiful water and the beautiful scenery, it feels good to know that you're not damaging the environment whilst you're out.
9:55 am
on land, bigger crafts are under way, with a 40—foot public shuttle set to launch with the city of stockholm next year. this is our first electric hydrofoiling ferry. this one will be able to carry 30 passengers. and it's exactly the same technology, just scaled up? exactly. it's the same concept. but next for me is another swedish company called x shore that's making electric boats better connected. hey! hello. nice boat. thank you. she's a beauty. i believe you have something to give me before we get on board. i have. so you will be able to start the boat with this one. garmin's gps and vitals—tracking smartwatch comes with added nautical functions. man overboard on, unlocked. and then if you fall in, then it stops. now, this won't be as energy—efficient as hydroplaning, but it's still powerful.
9:56 am
in four seconds, we will be up well above 30 knots, so everyone needs to hold on. is everyone ready? yes. give her everything you got. just full throttle. laughter. yep, i'm flooring it. it's similar to candela in cost and top speed, but can cruise slowly for double the time. as it sails, the vessel collects 150 data points each second. everything is shared back to h0 to optimise performance, but with private info being beamed straight from my wrist, i was curious about security. technically, you can hack pentagon, right? so you can probably hack our boat, if you're that good, but we have the same kind of security layer as any car company. just like connected cars share data to improve urban spaces, smart boats could help local authorities improve life at sea. so, this is our r&d lab.
9:57 am
so, this information like water quality and water temperature... mm—hm. you can't do anything about it. no. so, how much use is that data? for the cities, it's lots of use because they can see if the temperature suddenly rises, where to go swim, where to avoid. if you have coral reef areas... i mean, this is something that our customers would want to monitor, actually. with remote—control tools built in, floating sea labs could one day operate themselves. are you working towards these becoming autonomous? yes, we are. when? in a few years' time. a few years. that's it for the short cut of this sustainable journey by road and water, on what turns out to be click�*s 22nd birthday, would you believe? now, we're making a few changes behind the scenes here on the programme, so while we get things sorted, we're going to treat you over the next few weeks
9:58 am
to a few of our favourite episodes from the last few months. do enjoy those. you'll still find us hanging out on the socials — on youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching, and we'll be back soon. it was a very frosty morning for many of us, —7 last night in sennybridge. but it's looking bright for many of us this afternoon as well. rain, however, expected tomorrow. the rain is already reaching parts of northern ireland and scotland by the middle or end of the afternoon but elsewhere it
9:59 am
should be a dry day, apart from a few scattered showers. here's the cloud and the rain spreading across the country tonight. this also means much milder conditions overnight with temperatures around five in london, eight in glasgow first thing. tomorrow its cloudy skies right from the word go. outbreaks of rain almost anywhere at any time. also a lot milder. temperatures will be as high as 15 in some spots. the days after that are looking unsettled with further wind and rain on the way.
10:00 am
this is bbc news broadcasting in the uk and around the globe. our top stories... ukraine regains control of all areas around kyiv, and is now strengthening its defences in the east of the country. elsewhere, there explosions in the southern port of odesa. ukrainian officials say missiles have hit critical infrastructure. pakistan's prime minister imran khan tells voters to prepare for a fresh election after critics fail to remove him from office. voters in hungary head to the polls as its leader, viktor orban, looks to extend his 12—year—rule. in the uk, the conservative party has suspended one of its mps following claims about his conduct. the former archbishop of canterbury says the russian orthodox church could be expelled from the world council of churches because of its stance on ukraine.
